Need some dental expertise! my teeth are too close together to floss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See an orthodontist: Tight contacts between teeth can be frustrating and bothersome. You can get a dental exam first from your dentist, then get a referral to an orthodontist, or find your own reputable one. /good luck.
